Manchester City is reportedly preparing for the potential departure of Pep Guardiola next summer, with Chelsea’s head coach Enzo Maresca identified as a prominent candidate to succeed him. Maresca, who previously coached City’s youth team and served as a first-team assistant, has earned high praise from Guardiola himself, despite recent uncertainties surrounding his own future at Chelsea. The impending decision on Guardiola’s contract, set to expire in 2027, has prompted City to formulate contingency plans for their post-Guardiola era.
